When is a functional dependency F said to be minimal?

Every dependency in F has a single attribute for its right hand side.

We cannot replace any dependency X    A in F with a dependency Y    A where Y is a proper subset of X and still have a set of dependency that is equivalent to F.We cannot remove any dependency from F and still have set of dependency that is equivalent to F.
